if its got the history to back it then looks like it could be priced well but mite be a bit neglected looking at certain parts of the car. hard to say with out a viewing.

It was to good to be true rang the guy up at first claimed it only had 2 owners and fsh with all the old mot's.I then decided to HPI the car came back with 8 owners,rang the guy up again then he changed his story and said he was only aware of the last 2 owners and beat this only had the history for the car and the old mot's for the last 2 owners made him check the log book at YES i was right it had 8 owners.

So be aware might make a good car for some one at about £500 not his asking price.

This car has had 7 previous owners (including myself) and, unfortunatly, i only have the paperwork and service history from 44,479,
Presumably hie's edited the ad but still couldn't find room for the whole truth, what a cock.

No chance still claiming the car is low miles it sounds like a young 18 year old who thinks he knows about cars

if you are serious about the car and want one, then go look at it, so what it it's had 8 owners, for a 17 year old car that's not excessive.

If you know what you're looking at and the numpty selling is a gobshite then you may get the price down too.

Buy on condition at the end of the day, these are all old turds now.

There was a much better looking lazur blue 318iS for sale on here a few days ago with a full tech 2 kit for £1300, now I'd be beating a path to that guy's door if I was after an iS. Probably on a boat to Ireland already though
